From very young age they run to school, plus starchy diet

Living at high altitude definitely helps. Kalenjin country averages 6,000 to 7,000 feet (2,000 meters) above sea level. Many world class runners in the Western world move to high altitude locations to train. They find themselves stronger when they return to the abundant oxygen of sea level to compete.
